“Sir, since you are a great philosopher, can you explain the
difference between science and religion, as there seems to be a contradiction between
the two? Religion speaks of something that is not seen and people have faith in
that. But in science one says, ‘No, I only accept what I see,’ so it appears
that scientists are anti-religious.”

Dr Radhakrishnan answered:

“It is something like this: A little science takes you away
from religion but more of it brings you nearer religion.”

Those students who have studied only a little bit of science
speak of religion and God in derogatory terms. But great scientist Albert
Einstein had a positive view of religion.
